is what we have on our bikes; two on the tandem. http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/b...t=IMG_0694.jpg

Got to try my new Take-A-Look yesterday, and I like it just fine. Just gotta remember to remove it from my glasses before going to work. I already have enough of a reputation for being strange;)

We returned the velcro strap ones and Grampa now has a Myrrcle MTB. It withstood a very bumpy and wet overnight trip with no complaints of bouncing out of position. Of course, he was so busy trying not to be miserable in the rain that he may not have thought about the mirror at all.

It's been a real pain to find a mirror (and bell) that will fit on the 31" "oversized" bars on my new Jamis Aurora Elite touring bike. But I just ordered this one:

I got a mirror about a year ago for my hybrid bike which I use for city riding. I find that it really helps me judge how much space a car is about to give when passing, and also to check for quick merges. Since I now have my touring bike I don't use the hybrid every day and don't take it on long rides, but still the mirror is useful.

Oddly, I also find that drivers yield to me much more often when I use the mirror (as opposed to turning my head), I guess because they don't think I'm looking.

Interesting tidbit of useful info, especially because I feel less secure on the bike while my head is turned to look behind me, and that seems to be the moment many motorists choose to pass--way too close to my bike.

Thanks for the chuckle! Think I'll keep my Take-a-Look.

I've used a mirror attache to my helmet for years. I feel very vulnerable without it. I tried handle bar mirrors, but too much jiggle for me.

I have a handlebar mounted mirror. It occasionally gets knocked out of place but it's super easy to adjust. I like it.

I just bought this mirror and so far so good. It has an adjustable clamp which fits my oversize handlebars, and it has stayed in position on my cork bar tape in the dropout very well.

This one. :thumb:
